Animal Husbandry MCQ Question and Answer | Agriculture MCQ Question

Beetal goats are found in Punjab.
The Beetal goat is a breed from the Punjab region of India and Pakistan and is used for milk and meat production.
It is also known as Lahori goat. It is considered to be a good milker with large body size. Ears are flat long curled and drooping. The skin of these goats is considered to be of high quality because of its large size and its yielding of fine leather such as velour, suede, and chamois for manufacturing clothes, shoes and gloves.

Silent heat dominant in Buffalo.
Silent heats occur when not enough progesterone is being produced. Progesterone acts along with oestrogen to manifest itself in visual signs of heat in a cow or heifer.
Silent heat is a condition in which the buffalos do not exhibit the behavioral symptoms of estrus (heat), although the physiological symptoms of estrus are present.
As a result of silent heat, animals become repeat breeders and fail to maintain the estrus regularity and cyclicity.

Tallest breed of sheep in India is Nellore.
The Nellore is a meat sheep breed native to northern Andhra Pradesh, primarily the Nellore and Prakasham districts.
Nellore is the tallest breed of sheep in India, resembling goats in appearance. It has a long face and long ears with the body densely covered with short hair.

Cowper's glands are Accessory sex glands.
Cowper's glands are pea sized glands present inferior to the prostate gland in the male reproductive system. They produce thick clear mucus before ejaculation that drains into the spongy urethra.
The bulbourethral gland or Cowper's gland, which is homologous to the Bartholin's gland in females, produces a pre-ejaculate that cleanses and lubricates the urethra before the arrival of the semen.

Wallowing is characteristic of Buffalo.
Wallowing in animals is comfort behaviour during which an animal rolls about or lies in mud, water, or snow.
To thermoregulate, they rely on wallowing in water or mud to cool the body. These animals lack functional sweat glands and are almost incapable of panting.

During surgery arterial bleeding is controlled by Rat tooth forceps.
These forceps are used to hold (grip) skin/dense tissue. They have interdigitating teeth to hold tissue without slipping.
They do cause a degree of tissue damage so should not be used on delicate tissue and care should be taken when operating on animals with thin delicate skin.

Leghorn is Mediterranean class.
The Leghorn is a breed of chicken originating in Tuscany, in central Italy. Birds were first exported to North America in 1828 from the Tuscan port city of Livorno, on the western coast of Italy. They were initially called "Italians", but by 1865 the breed was known as "Leghorn", the traditional anglicisation of "Livorno".
Leghorns are good layers of white eggs, laying an average of 280 per year and sometimes reaching 300 - 320, with a weight of at least 55 g.

Oogenesis and spermatogenesis are major physiological actions of (hormone released from pituitary gland) Follicle stimulating hormone.
FSH is a gonadotropin, a glycoprotein polypeptide hormone. It is synthesized and secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland and regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, and reproductive processes of the body.
FSH stimulates the growth and recruitment of immature ovarian follicles in the ovary.
FSH enhances the production of androgen-binding protein by the Sertoli cells of the testes by binding to FSH receptors on their basolateral membranes and is critical for the initiation of spermatogenesis.

When two breeds are crossed alternatively is known as Crisscrossing.
Mating animals belonging to two different established breeds are known as crossbreeding. A crossbreed is an organism with purebred parents of two different breeds, varieties, or populations.
It is used to maintain health and viability of organisms, irresponsible crossbreeding can also produce organisms of inferior quality or dilute a purebred gene pool to the point of extinction of a given breed of organism.

The disease 'ricket' in animals occurs due to the deficiency of Vitamin D.
Rickets is a disorder affecting the skeleton of growing animals. Primary causes are insufficient dietary phosphorus or calcium, an inappropriate ratio between these minerals in the diet, or insufficient availability of activated vitamin D.
